I became a counsellor because I saw a real need for meaningful change and support. When I was younger, I had the opportunity to speak with a counsellor who made a real difference in my life. He was grounded, present, and genuinely listened to me. I remember walking out of those sessions feeling more balanced, more connected, and more in touch with myself. It was a powerful experience and one that stayed with me for years.
Later in life and with different challenges, I decided to see another counsellor hoping for a similar experience. But this time, it was completely different. The session became all about them and their problems, their story. I left feeling unheard, disappointed, and honestly, disillusioned. It turned me off counselling completely for a long time. |

That experience, as frustrating as it was, planted a seed. It made me realise just how important it is to be truly present with someone and to actually listen, without making it about yourself. And that’s what led me to become a counsellor. My goal is simple: to be with people in a way that honours their story; to listen deeply; to walk beside them, and to offer support that comes from presence, not ego. Because everyone deserves to feel heard and sometimes, that can change everything.
As someone who loves camping, traveling, and the outdoors, I bring a sense of adventure and optimism to everything I do - including my counselling approach. With lived experience as a parent and the perspective that comes with age, I understand how life can sometimes feel deeply challenging.
My counselling practice offers both long-term support and brief interventions, tailored to each individual’s unique situation. Over the years, I’ve worked extensively with disengaged youth and adults facing issues such as substance use, depression, anxiety, and grief. I have significant experience in men’s mental health, helping clients navigate complex emotions and challenges, particularly around anxiety and depression.
In addition to my counselling work, I spent many years in the VET sector, supporting students as they balanced education with personal and academic struggles. My involvement with not-for-profit organisations and community work has further strengthened my understanding of the diverse challenges people face, allowing me to provide support during life’s most difficult moments.
